I absolutely hate mainstream Dubstep, however this stuff is great (most notably tune 3): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juoRdXKO2go
I feel the exact same way. Love these tunes. I wish this kind of Dubstep had taken off more.
Well it was all that existed before it turned into pop music :P

hey levi, long time no speak.
happy hardcore still owns my heart, will love it til i die (and can't say i yet feel the same way about dubstep), but i have a "if you can't beat em, might as well join em" mentality.
so if i can find some dubstep remixes of hhc tracks and still play music that i like on some level for people, i will be a happy boy.
i have to live in reality where i am. hhc could fly in toronto but not out here somehow. i told the club manager i learned how to beat match with happy hardcore but there's no way it'd get booked for a club night.
i'm making money doing this, can't fault me there. i may end up hating it after one try.
there is some good stuff out there if you're willing to open your mind up to new experiences. it's all music at the end of the day.

there's so many assorted views I have on a number of dubstep-related points but if we're just talking about the music here I would personally say I don't like it because of the drops and leave it at that.
I heard dubstep for the first time in 2007 and I thought the drop was cool but I got bored of it very quickly, anything filthy/crunchy isn't really my bag but I love original Dub like Scientist, Drastics, Dreadzone, Easy star allstars etc. the more reggae influenced chilled back stuff. Why mainstream dubstep has since chosen to omit all the ragga influences is beyond me, if anything that gives it some character. I guess America is a lot less tolerant/understanding of weed/rasta culture and probably doesn't like how 'black' the music is either.
And just if anyone is interested, this is one of the first dubstep tunes I heard from a load of mates who were proper London grime kids when 'dubstep' was a "what's that?" genre:

Gonna take this opportunity to shamelessly plug some of my own dubstep, this seems to be the most well received track :p http://soundcloud.com/dantedante/flight-wip

Not aimed at you here at all v-act but just at people who do this to me constantly:
If I say I don't like dubstep it means exactly that; I do not like dubstep. Do not tell me I'm not listening to 'good' dubstep. I've heard a wide, wide range of dubstep, probably more than you have and probably long before you were; linking me to a track with a heavier drop is not going to impress me, it just shows me how infantile the whole dubstep fandom is when they consider the best tunes to be the ones with the heaviest drops. Alternatively, do not send me any watered down "chilled-out" dubstep either. If I want to listen to something 'chill' I'll put on an Enya CD, not a cluster**** of tempo-synced LFO with generic Vengeance pads behind it and a 'flowing water' sound on loop.
If you think there is good dubstep out there, please explain to me first what you think makes it 'good'. PS: a heavy drop does not make it good.
